The Race Course
Are you ready to experience one of the most beautiful race courses, lined with adoring fans? In about 30 days you will!
The national breast cancer marathon, half-marathon and relay events will begin near the Mayo Clinic Campus in Jacksonville, Florida, and follow the course through the unique beach communities of Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach. The course will detour onto 2.5 miles of beautiful hard-packed sand on the Florida coastline, which is perfect for running!
Our race is a Boston Qualifier for 2011. The marathon certification number is FL07055EBM and the half-marathon certification number is FL07057EBM.
The course will be open for 7 hours, allowing for a 16-minute per mile marathon or 32-minute per mile half-marathon pace.
Water stations will be available approximately every mile. Odd mile water stations will provide Activwater, a 100% natural, vitamin and antioxidant enhanced water packed with electrolytes.
GU, our official fuel partner, will be available starting at mile 5, every 3 miles. Medical aid stations will be available every 3 miles.
Portable restrooms will be available at many locations all over the course. Never fear, restrooms are near.
